discovered, including three pyra-
mids-large flat-topped platforms
from 40 to 100 feet high-and a
standing wall. Widely scattered in
the general vicinity of Lake La-
conha, the relics were all once
used for ceremonial purposes and
in several cases were located miles
from the nearest water.
This must have caused difficul-
ties while building and using them,
Milton speculated, which may have
been solved by using catch basins
to trap the abundant rainfall
otherwise absorbed by the porous
soil.
Milton notes that discovering
the ruins was largely an exercise
in human relations. The Indians
of the region, among the most
primitive in the hemisphere, had
never before revealed the location
of any of the "Homes of the
Jungle Gods," and one Mexican
authority "laughed when we told
him were were going to ask them
to help us."
The Dale Carnegie approach
paid off, however, as one Indian,
named "Bor," agreed to lead the
students to some ruins.
The natives regard the relics
with a mixture of reverence and
superstitious fear, Milton said. The
faces on some of the exterior
heiroglyphs had been chiseled off
by Indians seeking to protect
themselves from the evil spirits.
This has been the reason for
their refusal to help archaeologists
before. "They don't talk because
they're afraid the gods will strike'
back." Milton fears that, regret-
ting the confidence placed in the
whites, the natives may have un-
dertaken wholesale destruction of
the ruins as further insurance
when the explorers left.
Milton and his companion,
however, took many photographs,
and the Mexican government is
sending authorities to make recon-
structed paintings of the relics.
Questioned about his impression
of the jungle, Milton, who would
like to be a science writer and
archaeologist ,noted that he only
recently has rid himself of para-
sitic lice contracted during the ex-
pedition.

"It began as a program designed
for the wealthy young American
taking the grand tour," Prof.
James J. Gindin of the English
department said about one of the
first Junior Year Abroad pro-
grams.
The idea of the Junior Year
Abroad, which the University is
now considering, began at Smith
College just after World War I,
Prof. Gindin commented.
After Smith, the University of
Delaware started a program which
Sweet Briar College took over in
1948.
After the end of World War II
the emphasis in these programs
changed and "there was a much
greater emphasis on the academic
part of the program," Prof. Gindin
declared.
These programs are now offered
for both men and women at Mu-
nich, Paris, Madrid, Florence and
in each of the three Scandinavian
countries. In addition, there are
programs for women students at
Geneva and Fribourg, Switzerland.
Sponsoring institutions are Ham-
ilton College, Smith College, Sweet
Briar College, Rosary College,
Syracuse University and New York
University. Wayne State Univer-
sity's programs are at Munich and
Freiburg in Germany.
All programs with the exception
of the Scandinavian Seminar and
the Syracuse program in Florence
require preparation in the langu-
age concerned.
Newly added to the list of
schools are the University of Vien-
na and the University of Aix-
Marseille. Neither of these schools
require any language preparation.
Three or four years ago, Prof.
Gindin explained, students re-
ceived little credit on such pro-
grams. They now do work in the
language while in the program and
get more credit applied to their
American college work."
Depends on Departments
"It depends on the department,"

about credit from the American
school towards a student's major.
A student will often get general
departmental credits but not
credit for the specific course he
took in cases where the school's
offerings do not correspond.
Even if a student does not get
all his needed credits, he "can
usually work this out in his senior
year if he's on an established
program," Prof. Gindin said.
"Obviously these programs work
out best in Paris or Munich for
the French or German major," he
continued. Another case in which
the program enables the students
to receive full credit is when a
pre-medical student take his lib-
eral arts courses in Europe and
uses these to satisfy his distribu-
tion requirements.
Prof. Gindin estimated that
"about three-fourths of the stu-
dents go for work in their depart-
ments and one-fourth go to study
in other departments."
Benefit Language Majors
These programs usually benefit
the language major more than
other departmental majors.
If a student is interested in one
of these programs he discusses it
with Prof. Gindin who will inform
him which sponsoring institution
to apply to.
Before a student goes, Prof. Gin-
din has him consult with his con-
centration adviser to investigate
what arrangements can be made
for courses he takes abroad. a
"No promises are made before
the student goes, however," Prof.
Gindin explained. The final deci-
sion is made when the student
comes back.
He said that one of the biggest
arguments for a one-semester pro-'
gram, like the one that Syracuse1
University has at Florence, is that
it doesn't interfere with the stu-
dent's major."
Census
The Constitution requires that
the number of people in thej
nation be counted every ten
years, so on April 1 the "Bigl
Count" will begin.
The Census Bureau says that1
all students are to be counted in
the community in which they 1
are attending school.
University students will bec
counted in Ann Arbor immedi-
ately after vacation. Individual
census reports will be distrib-
uted at their places of resi-
dence. The bureau asks that
these reports be promptly filled
out and ready for the census
taker assigned to the particular
area.
The 1960 census is a census
of population and housing. This
means that one out of every
four households, and one out of
every four students in group
quarters, will be asked to fill out
an additional questionnaire.

"I wanted 'Eva' written because
the new generation must know
how to deal with a problem that
confronted me; the problem of
survival," Mrs. Eda Lowe said
yesterday.
"Eva," which was written by
Meyer Levin, describes the plight
of a young Jewish girl from Nazi
aggression during World War ILI
"War is so indifferent and there
is no help from the outside. When
so many people were being killed,
I decided that I must" tell the
world about it if I could survive."

International
Scholarshipsl
By BEATRICE TEODORO
For the academic year, 1960,
about $26,000, worth of scholar
ships were granted to students
from 16 countries. Prof. James M.
Davis, director of the internation-
al Center, said.
These scholarships are set aside
from University funds, and are
allocated by a committee made
up of professors from; various
schools.
There are two types of grants
available, Davis said. One is gen-
eral, open to any foreign student,
and providing tuition for a semes-
ter or year. Faced with many
more applicants than scholar-
ships, the committee is required
to adopt certain eligibility cri-
teria beyopd those of ability and
financial need.
First, the committee generally
favors students who are near the
completion of a degree, rather
than those who are beginning
undergraduate studies.
Second, the applicants should
preferably have demonstrated aca-
demic ability at the University
before application.
Finally, the committee attempts
to maintain a spread over the pro-
fessional departments and over
the countries represented.
The other type of aid available

Ukranian peasant girl. She claimed
that her greatest problem was try-
Sng to keep her identity as a Jew
while posing as a non-Jew.
When asked to compare Leon
Uris's best seller "Exodus" to
"Eva," she said that Exodus does
not emphasize the human prob-
lems of Israel. "It seems that
people don't like to hear about the
unpleasant past."
Mrs. Lowe believed that from
the historical point of view, people
have heard about World War I
and now they should hear more
about World War II.
Relating her experiences during
the War, Mrs. Lowe spoke to an
audience of the 1960 United Jew-
ish Appeal fund drive last night
at the League.
The money raised will be used
overseas for absorption and eco-
nomic integration of people from
25 countries into Israel. She said
that the population has more than
doubled in Israel since 1948 and
assistance is needed because "the
young people are our future."
"When I came to Israel, UJA
gave me housing, taught me how
to speak the language, and showed
me how to integrate into the cul-
ture."
